Answer:

Short-selling long-term bonds and taking long position on short-term assets

Explanation:

When the yield curve ascends, the long-term bond's price will go down. Hence, do short-sell the long-term bonds. On the other hand, short-term asset's price will be depreciated because Fed tightens credit and raise short-term rate, which is the chance to purchase and make profits from capital gains.

As production increases:
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Correct option is (D)

Explanation:

Total cost is a sum of Total fixed cost and total variable cost. Fixed cost does not change with the change in number of units produced. Variable cost on the other hand increases with the increase in production.

So, initially fixed cost is higher than variable cost at a certain production level. As production increases, fixed cost is spread across units and per unit fixed cost falls but variable cost keeps increasing, so total cost keep increasing with increase in production because of variable cost component.

tigry1 [53]

Answer: 59.27% and 4.77%.

Explanation:

Given that,

In the year 2009:

Japanese adult non-institutionalized population = 110.272 million

Labor force = 65.362 million

Number of people employed = 62.242 million

Japanese labor-force participation rate = \frac{Total\ labor\ force}{Total\ population}

                                                                  =\frac{65.362}{110.272}

                                                                  = 0.5927 or 59.27%

Unemployment rate = \frac{Total\ labor\ force - Number\ of\ people\ employed }{Total\ labor\ force}\times100

                               = \frac{65.362 - 62.242}{65.362}\times100

                               = 4.77%

Seth borrows X from Tina and agrees to pay it back over 20 years using the sinking fund method. At the end of each year, Seth wi
guapka [62]

Answer:

The outstanding balance immediately after 12 years is $5,071.34.

Explanation:

Amount available in sinking fund account at the end of 12 years is given by:

( S ) = D*( (1+r)12 - 1 )/r

Where :

D = annual deposit at the end of every year = $ 400

r = interest earned on the depost = 3%

then:

S = 400 * ( ( (1+3%)12 - 1 ) / 3%)

   = $ 5,676.81

it is also mentioned that the sinking fund amount balance at the end of 20 years should be equal to repay the principal amount borrowed

so, sinking Fund at the end of 20 years would be :

T = D * ( (1+r)20 - 1 ) / r

   = 400 * ( ( (1+3%)20 - 1 ) / 3%)

  = $ 10,748.15

So, Seth has borrowed $ 10,748.15 from Tina which has to be paid at the end of 20 years.

At the end of 12 years his sinking fund balance would be equal to $ 5,676.81

As, he keeps paying interest regualarly every year at the end of 12 years the outstanding balance would be

= (Total amount borrowed) - (Sinking Fund at the end of 12 years)

= $ 10,748.15 - $ 5,676.81

= $ 5,071.34

Therefore, The outstanding balance immediately after 12 years is $5,071.34.
